Reduction Of Lead In Drinking Water Act

Lead In Drinking Water Act

In 2011 Congress enacted the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act to amend the Safe Drinking Water Act's section regarding the use and introduction into commerce of lead pipes, plumbing fittings or fixtures, solder and flux. The Act established a prospective effective date of January 4, 2014, which provided a three year timeframe for affected parties to transition to the new requirements. All of the metal fixtures and fittings sold by H2O Distributors are compliant with this act.

Made in the United States of America

H2O Distributors is proud to feature American-made products on its web site.All such products will be marked with a icon.
